Ipod Nano Freeze

Is that problem with 10.6 iTunes still a problem. I went back to 10.5.3 but I need to know if I can get the newest version now and it not freeze when I plug in my ipod nano. Thanks.

Did you update to the newest 10.6.1 version of iTunes to see if that resolved the issue?

IPod nano Freezes!!!!!!Please Help

Every now and then my iPod nano (1st gen) used to freeze and nothing I could do could get it back to life.......so i would just wait an hour or so and it would come back to life. When the iPod was frozen, the screen would be on, the only thing it responded to was the hold switch (the screen light would turn back on after switching it on and off) and no matter what I did it wouldnt respond (including turning the hold switch on and off and holding down MENU and SELECT). But now it isnt coming back to life and I have tryied EVERYTHING on the apple website including letting battery drain for 48 hours, restoring, resetting it and uploading the newest update to it when it appears on my macbook. Could somebody please tell me weather I should send it in to get serviced because I only have one month left on the one year warrentry or is there another way to fix it. Thank you.

Yes, I would definitely send it in before the warranty expires.

My first generation ipod nano freezes on language menu. All a can do is reset it

Hi!
My 1st generation ipod nano froze today on the menu.
I've resetted it holding the select and menu button and i've restored it from itunes a few times.
Now it freezes on the language menu. It's like the wheel and select button don t work anymore, though they work when i reset the ipod.
I also reinstalled itunes and updated itunes and the ipod OS.
Same issue.
Anyone has an idea?

Wait, you guys even censor the word "he_ll"??? It's not even an innapropriate word!

IPod Nano freezing + Itunes issue

My Ipod nano 6th gen was working fine since i bought it until today - today when i tried to play the Nano on shuffle it would simply freeze. I could hear the clicks but nothing would happen - it wouldn't play and i couldn't move to another function. i would have to reset the Ipod to get access again. Same thing would happen when i tried to find a song individually - i access a song, click it and then frozen. at the same time as this issue comes up now my itunes cant see my ipod. my computer can see it just fine, just not my itunes.
any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Resetting the Nano was a good first step to solving the problem, but you may need to go a step further.
Open iTunes, and plug in the USB sync cable; leave it in. You'll see an option in the middle of the iTunes display that asks if you might want to restore the Nano. This will erase your playlists, but if you have them backed up with iTunes, that shouldn't be a problem. Let the Nano automatically enter your playlists and files; make sure the transfer is completely finished before detaching the cable.
Everything should be back to normal. Let me know how the intervention went, so I can make sure it went well. And others with a similar problem can refer to the data as well.

IPod Nano Freezes / Resets / Skips

My new 3rd Gen iPod Nano randomly freezes on certain videos (in the same spot EVERY time), resets in the middle of certain videos (again in the same spot EVERY time), and even skips (i mean entirely to the next song, not just a stutter) when I listen to certain songs, and of course, it's in the exact same spot every time.
Not to mention some of my Album artwork will display incorrectly, but if I skip to the next song and come back, it displays the correct artwork. But if I go back to the previous song and forward again, the album artwork is...you guessed it, displayed incorrectly or not at all.
I've tested every one of these songs on iTunes so far, and they work fine. I've tested the videos, they're good too. I tried them on my brother's 5.5g iPod video, and they still work great.
I restored my Nano and it didn't help either.
Are these all just bugs in the brand new iPod OS? Or do I need to wait another week for my iPod to ship out and one more week to have a new one shipped back?
This is a bummer. I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with problems, because I have my iPod engraved. I don't enjoy the extra downtime in requesting a new product
Anyways, any answers appreciated.

I think it is more likely a 1.0 firmware issue as other Nano 3G and Classic owners are having similar issues (Myself included). I have noted that I get song skips in the same places in certain songs and also a number of MP3's indicate that they are playing but the counter does not move nor do they actually play (They just sit at 0.00 with the play indicator showing). Very annoying when I have it docked on my speakers on random play as I have to keep going over to it and skipping to the next track.
The strange thing is that the MP3's this occur on are often in clusters from the same ripped CD's but it is never all tracks off the CD only a selection of them...
Ah well, hopefull as Apple normally do they will issue a series of fixes over the coming weeks and eventually provide a solid platform. Other than these minor quibbles I think the iPod has moved forward in a positive way but I wish the iTunes developers would get together with iPod and Apple TV developers to ensure they all have the same sorting and display of Tracks (Podcasts, TV Shows etc). For example, TV Shows on iTunes use the "Show Name" field for grouping yet Apple TV uses the "Artist" field ... WHY???? But I digress, sorry!

Need help badly ipod nano freezes my whole computer

i have all the latest softwear for i tunes and windows xp. i plugged in my new ipod nano
and then my whole competer freeze and the only way to get it back it to turn the power off
on the computer, and restart it. can someone tell me what im doing wrong??

Thanks for the suggestion, but it still didn't work. Still froze the computer when I plugged it in. I plugged the ipod into a friend's mac and was able to restore the settings on it, and now it seems to be working on mine as long as I drag the songs into it and don't try to sync it or manage the music through the tabs at the top. I have had nothing but problems with Itunes since I got this macbook about a month ago, in terms of not recognizing songs or freezing up....

Ipod nano freezes pc when connected

Hi,
I bought a brand new I pod 2 weeks ago, loaded the current itunes version and after a few hick ups itunes loaded the music on my ipod. Now a few days later my computer totally freezes as soon as I connect the ipod to the pc. I tried everything, setting back the ipod, deinstall and reinstall itunes, even an older version of itunes, tried all available usb ports (all 2.0 versions)...nothing. I also blocked the firewall and the antivirus guard...nothing.
still full stop when connected. itunes recognizes my ipod on the screen but then it stopps. I have to restart the pc to keep on working with it. I also tried other pc's. An apple one worked fine with my ipod, another pc recognized it on the F drive and did not freeze it so I don't think the little beauty itself is the problem.
Any idea to help my restless soul... ;-)???
PC Windows XP

OK, here I am back again.
My ipod was restored by my friend who used an apple computer with the latest version of itunes 7.....
So I started from scratch, installed an earlier version of itunes (6.0.2 or so), put my music on, connected my ipod (no freezing yet) but it immediatelly asked me to use this ipod with the new version 7.0.2. I then upgraded the existing to 7.0.2 and then...as soon as I connected my ipod it recognized it, told me that it is originally communicating with another bibliothek and asked if I wanted to synchronize or only load the bought items etc...and...
did not load any songs on the ipod and....
Freeeeeeeeezzzzzzeeeee !!!! I could not move any mouse or curser on my pc anymore. What do you mean, should I throw away my computer...it looks like is definetly not the ipod.

IPod nano freezing when plugged into Belkin Tunecast

Everything has been working fine with my ipod nano 3rd generation until recently. I tried to plug it into the tunecast in my car and the ipod froze. I've tried resetting it and this still happens. A different ipod has been working fine with the tunecast which makes me think there is nothing wrong with the belkin but the ipod is fine even when plugged into the computer which makes me wonder which one is not working properly. Any ideas????

I am having this exact same issue with my wife's 3g, 8GB nano and her Monster iCarPlay. the Monster unit and the nano worked fine together for a week or two but now the nano locks up when connected to it. You disconnect the nano and it goes back to working fine. I have reset the nano while both connected and not connected to the Monster and have done a restore in iTunes and I am still having the same issue. I called support and they basically told me to buy a new car adapter. I don't believe this is a good solution since the Monster worked with the nano for a couple of weeks when we first got it and the Monster still works fine with both my wife's and my old ipod mini's. Any suggestions?

ITunes 7 and iPOD Nanos Freezing

We have had an iPOD mini for a couple of years with no problems.
This week we bought 2 nanos as presents for family members.
We had to download iTunes 7 to talk to the new nanos - since then it has been a disaster.
iTunes can take 5 minutes to start and frequestly hangs or freezes. iTunes doesn't see the nanos or mini without reseting the iPODS each time - even then it can take 2 -3 minutes to see the iPOD. We have tried Apples 5 R's (Retry, restart, re-install, restore, reset) - but no luck.
The PC is an HP Media Center PC (Athlon 64 3500) Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. We have HP Tunes intsalled - I have tried to uninstall but get error message saying we need to update to latest version of iTunes - which we have (7.0.2.16).

It sounds like you have to do a reinstall of both iTunes and QuickTime. Others here are better at explaining the process than I am, but I'll give the overview: Uninstall them both and back up your music library, just in case; you shouldn't lose any of it by uninstalling, though. Then, start fresh with the QuickTime 7.1.3 standalone installer:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html (select the second option for JUST QuickTime)
...and then proceed with the iTunes 7.0.2.16 installer:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
The general consensus, in my view, is that installing QuickTime and iTunes together from one setup file (which is typically the case for most people) causes issues with some computers. Try QuickTime by itself, then iTunes for some better results.

IPod Nano Freezes when unplugged with static type line on screen

I've seen a lot about the "white screen" but mine is slightly different. It's a 2nd gen, 4GB. When plugged in, everything works fine. Syncs up, plays music, etc. As soon as it's unplugged, it gets a static looking bar across the screen and everything freezes. If music was playing, it stops, no chance of getting the click wheel to do anything. I've tried the 5r's and have done restores in regular mode and forced disk mode (since I can get the click wheel to work while plugged in). I eject it properly and everything. I'm leaning towards battery issue. Any one got a fairly certain answer ? I'm a technician and can replace my own battery if need be, but I'm new to the iPod so I'm still learning symptoms and solutions here.

I forgot the details:
※ The iPod has Software Update v1.1.3 and recently been restored using iTunes v8.2.1 with no problem during the update/restore process.
※ The iPod works normally; battery charged when connected to PC (USB), internal speaker produces clicks (when using the wheel), screen light works fine, all settings have no problem.
※ The grey horizontal line only appeared when the light goes on (white). If the light goes off (dim), there is no grey horizontal line visible on the screen.
※ The grey horizontal line appeared at a quarter part of the screen (from the bottom of the screen), on the lower part of the Apple icon.

MY IPOD NANO FREEZES

When I plug my ipod into the USB port my ipod comes up with the do not disconect screen and freezes. I cannot get out of this screen untill i totally drain the battery and use a mains charger. please help ive tried most things said and nothing seems to work.

"i downloaded all new updates for both the ipod and itunes."
Downloading the updates is not the same as restoring the iPod (which is the 5th R).
Have you done this?
Put the iPod in disk mode before you restore it.

IPOD Nano freezes when connected to computer

I got my ipod about six months ago. It worked fine until about a month ago, it started freezing as soon as I connected it to the computer. I have tried restarting the computer while it's connected. I have tried restarting the ipod while it's connected and when it's not connected. I have tried reinstalling the latest version of itunes on my computer. Of course, I can't restore the ipod, because it freezes within seconds of connecting to the computer. NOTHING works. The ipod still recharges, but I can't restore it, or download any new songs because it just freezes on the Do Not Disconnect message. I have tried different computers (Dell Laptop, MacBook Pro, Compaq PC) but it does the same thing on every computer. Does anyone know what to do about this? I have tried all the suggestions on the Mac Support page. Please help! This is so frustrating :_(

have you looked at this one yet?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=32222
Yes, thanks for the suggestion, but as I mentioned, I have gone down the list of all the apple support recommendations and nothing has worked. I need NEW ideas if anyone has had the same problem or I guess I'll have to take it in for servicing.

i have a 5th gen ipod nano that freezes when playing songs. i can't skip, turn down volume, turn ipod off. it simply screeches as the song is stuck at a specific point. any suggestions?

You have 2 options: #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
#2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
